The long, cold nights are kicking in and many Dubs are debating whether or not to turn on the heating.
While most years we would happy to pop on the heating in October, with the rise of energy costs and fears over massive bills, households are slow to switch on the heaters until it's absolutely necessary. We hit the streets of Dublin to find out if people have thrown on the heating yet or if they are sticking it out for a while.
One man told Dublin Live: "I'm waiting until it gets really cold to use the heating. We don't put it on at all at night. We're afraid of the bills."
